  4. Edo had his sweet 17th birthday happily, but sadly a week after his birthday, Edo’s father got a heart attack which cause him die. So, Edo was hopeless and he cried all day and all night for 3 days. But the good thing is, Mr. Eddy won;t die in a usual style, because he is an honored man, he is burried as a mummy in the coffin .

Mummies are burried in the coffins under the ground, some people can still do excavation and find mummies and sell it i the museum. Some mummies are being displayed in the museum.
